The daughter of South African immagrants who left SA because they were being tracked by police for educating Black and Coloured people against the laws of apartheid.

Raised in a small mountain town in Western Canada in a balance of pain and privilege: highly intelligent, bullied in school, well-travelled; I was mostly an idealistic loner, except when with people open to hearing my crazy ideas, especially my criticisms about what humanity was doing to the Earth.

Became a mum after dropping out of university, disappointed it was not my idea of ‘higher education’. Parenting became my higher education.

Raising children was what my heart and soul wanted to do, but my scars and unhealed wounds got in the way of effective relating with the other adults involved.

My family impulses when I couldn’t bear up any longer and I surrendered, retreated in deep pain, and devoted my life to figuring out what it takes to create, evolve, empower humans to be at home deeply with ourselves and each other, on this extraordinary planet.

Now I am a nomad, cross pollinating the gold I’ve discovered studying and experimenting as an evolutionary and Gaian village weaver.

I use distinctions, maps, processes and tools from many sources, including Raja Kriya Yoga, Permaculture, Integral Theory, and Possibility Management.

I am an Emotional Healing Process space holder and Possibility Coach, and a Torus Technology Trainer.

It’s ecstasy to be here with all of you.

Love, Nicole
